This bug is now fixed in version 6.4.4. IDE Fix Pack 6.4.4 for Delphi 10.3.2

On the good side, they don't support pink goggles, either. 😉

Has anyone ever used Microsoft Application Virtualization for running the Delphi IDE in a kind of virtualized sandbox on a Windows 10 x64 desktop environment? Application Virtualization (also known as Process Virtualization) is a software technology that encapsulates computer programs from the underlying operating system on which it is executed. A fully virtualized application is not installed in the traditional sense, although it is still executed as if it were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_App-V

Hi all, I am setting up a new startup company to produce software for education. I am looking for someone with experience in product management who will act as advisor. At the moment there is no budget for salary or fees but I am very happy to give away a percentage of the company. The role will not involve any development but I want to have someone to discuss technological choices, directions and decisions. If you are interested please drop me an email. I am happy to have a call or a skype chat. Thanks John

I came across this library and thought to share. It offers management of time zones if anyone is interested. https://github.com/pavkam/tzdb

We have used this for many years and found it very robust and comprehensive. For some periods in the past it has not always kept up with every IANA update, but currently it includes the latest one. You can always update the embedded data yourself using the provided compiler, if you subscribe to the TZDB mailing list to get notified of updates. Our software only needs to be aware of future zone and DST changes, not those in the past, so I modified the compiler to omit all the information about which day in 1928 the DST rules were changed in Alaska or Zanzibar, and other such fascinating facts. It's very simple to use if you have a need for the TZ information that IANA maintains.

Warnings are just a warnings for a future. It is wise to read those, but they don't prevent publishing.

So many apps today no longer follows the Windows Theme color settings. That annoys me.

New installer for web installation: https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/new-10-3-2-getit-installer It is working!

I can indeed confirm that MMX registers Ctrl-Alt-C for Copy Entity as the default shortcut, but a quick check revealed that even Delphi 7 had this linked to the CPU window. So I don't know why it was chosen for that action. That said, it is sometimes pretty hard to find available and reasonable shortcuts. Even if you find one it might be taken by Delphi in the next version - let alone another 3rd party plugin. That is why these shortcuts can be configured. Nevertheless I will investigate the contextual approach.

Just compiled 1.3.13.77 and it crashes depending on a specific configuration with 10.3.2 (same on 10.3.1) First, I moved GExperts to the Tools menu. Then everything is fine, I can launch the IDE but it always stalls at launch time for about 20-30 seconds when stating "All IDE packages loaded". Minor problem. Now, it doesn't crash when exiting except when I uncheck "Disable all editor enhancements". When unchecked, then I configure the editor toolbar with some commands I want. Now when I exit RadStudio, I get the infamous Exception (see screenshot) If I disable all editor enhancements, then exiting RadStudio is fine. On the screenshot, Y:\prov\GExperts is the directly where I compiled 1.3.13.77 Hope this helps. Can anyone else with the crash confirm that editor enhancements are enabled? Steve

From Google Play today : Thank you for your patience while we reviewing your request. I'm happy to inform you that your app "*********" has been approved for 64-bit extension. Please note that the extension will only be given until August 1st, 2020. In addition, once your app is compliant with 64-bit, please let me know by replying this email. Thank you for supporting Google Play. Have a nice day!

You have to be careful with WaitForInputIdle(), though: WaitForInputIdle should really be called WaitForProcessStartupComplete WaitForInputIdle waits for any thread, which might not be the thread you care about

I was wrong - it is CodeGenMod.Win32.VirtFinalSealed. When I disable it, the project can be rebuilt again.

I never realized that some libraries were available only through GetIt. This is a problem indeed. I guess that best course of action would be submitting QP report (once it finally gets online) and post the link here so we can vote on it.
